He told The Times of India: "When [Priyanka] found out, she called me. Barely four days into my schedule at Jaipur and I'm like 'I have to see you'. I spoke to director Soham Shah and, luckily, the schedule opened up for two days. I rushed back. It was the most incredible feeling I've ever had.

"I'm crazy about kids. I've been the designated babysitter for all my friends. I've been the most popular uncle, and everybody's always been talking about me getting married and having children. Now that it's happening, it feels incredible."

"I'm already trying to make sure I'm free around February next year to be there for my wife and the baby. This has been a really hectic year for me.

"I was talking with Baba bhai [ Sanjay Dutt]... He's such a passionate dad. He's been telling me since Zilla Ghaziabad, 'Bro, you got to have babies. This is how life changes'. The passion with which he talks about his twins is adorable."
